The National Orchid Garden, located within the Singapore Botanic Gardens, was opened on 20 October 1995 by Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. The Singapore Botanic Gardens has been developed along a 3-Core Concept.
This is the orchid of my collegue. It is always in full blossom, not like mine ... Therefore I just had to take a picture. This way I keep the blossom as well ;-)
Longwood Gardens, Pa.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
Wonderful Phalaenopsis orchid. Some of them just don’t want to flower, probably need higher light. Have a lovely day.
Orchids are firstly very shy and then they open their flowers in some hours. I've taken about 40 photos to get some better ones, the daylight was weak and for the last photo at 5 p.m., I had to use flash.

An orchid flower. October 2020. Pentax K-S1, Pentax-M 50mm with extension tubes. Cropped and made monochrome in Photoshop.
If you like my photographs, why not consider buying a print at captures.life? I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything isn't working or goes wrong are functioning just fine...

I photographed this orchid on Mother's Day in the San Diego Botanic Building in Balboa Park.
I wanted to emphasize the shapes and textures of the petals, so I used side lighting to create the shadows that reveal those qualities. Lit with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held in front of the flower and below it at 4 o'clock. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

I was given this orchid for Christmas 2022. It came from a flower shop where it was apparent they expected us to throw it out once the flowers died. I thought I'd have a go at keeping it alive so gave it new orchid bark and as instructed by an orchid website, watered with 2 icecubes at a time although I don't think I always did so often enough. I will try to do better this year and perhaps will get more flowers.
With many thanks to all my flickr friends for their photos, comments and favours over the year and very best wishes for 2024.
